Story
Exeter college boat club is doing an ergathon in aid of ExVac. In competition with Emmanuel College, Cambridge, we are doing a 6 hour, 6 erg face-off to see who can row furthest. We hope to be able to row over 360km as a club.
About ExVac
Set up in 1982 and granted charity status in 2002, ExVac runs two holidays each year for children aged 7-11 from the Oxford area. The children who come on the trips are from families facing difficult times who have been put in touch with ExVac through Oxfordshire Social Services.
For many, these holidays provide an invaluable opportunity. Children are encouraged to try new things such as canoeing, pottery painting, and even visiting a theme park. Located in the New Forest, the holidays allow the children to experience the outdoors and enjoy life in the countryside. In a whole new environment, the children quickly adapt and form new friendships, making the week enjoyable for all.
